Abstract. Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is currently attracting enormous attention. In P2P systems a very large number of autonomous computing nodes (the peers) pool together their ...
Large amounts of (often valuable) information are stored in web-accessible text databases. "Metasearchers" provide unified interfaces to query multiple such databases at...
